Revealed: how much Arsenal are offering for Liverpool, Spurs target
The 21-year-old is also liked by Tottenham and Liverpool, and starred as Monaco made it all the way to the Champions League semi-final last season.
As has been reported in the last few hours, Arsenal were said to have a €30 million bid ready.
Le10Sport can now claim, however, that the sum is actually €40 million, a big fee for one of Ligue 1’s best players.
Lemar has been tearing up and down the right wing for two seasons now, impressing with sixteen goals in all competitions, and seventeen assists over the last two seasons.
With five caps, Lemar has been rising quickly, and Arsene Wenger is known to be very enthusiastic about signing him. Arsenal have been given an £100m war chest.
Lemar is popular across Europe, attracting Manchester City’s attention earlier this year, Pep Guardiola heading to the Parc des Princes to watch their Ligue 1 clash.
